A Flash of Blue Among the Brown

This Two-barred Flasher, Astraptes fulgerator, yesterday provided the only bit of color among dozens of brown butterflies in my garden, mostly different types of Skippers and the ever-present Carolina Satyrs here right now. I guess I could do a study in browns with so many different shades, shapes and sizes of brown butterflies, but it is easier to focus on the brighter colors like this guy’s brilliant blue!

¡Pura Vida!
